I went to an alternative vet for my dog's seizures. She mentioned that weight gain and chronic ear infections are an indication of an allergy to corn. Just thought I'd mention it since so many foods and treats have corn in them. She also said that half of the dogs that came to her that had seizures, when taken off of wheat products, stopped having them, something a regular vet had never told me. Also, real vinegar from the health food store is antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. White vinegar from the grocery store is actually derived from tar...not vinegar at all!! I use the natural vinegar to wash out my dogs' ears, diluted with a lot of water, routinely. You wouldn't need the peroxide with it. I only use "white vinegar" for cleaning. Good luck! ...
